After a short comparison of biofuel cells based on enzymes and microorganisms, several important developments and applications of enzymatic fuel cells (EFCs) are discussed. This discussion emphasizes how to evaluate the performance of EFCs, and highlights the influence of temperature and how it must be carefully considered for practical use of EFCs as power sources. Some of the latest and most important innovations in EFC design using buckypapers and redox nanoparticles are briefly reviewed.
